This project is comprised of six sub plans.:1.The goal of plan 1 is to complete the collection of domestic and foreign regulations and laws regarding the 17 toxic chemical substances. Moreover, it is advised to include the following six chemicals into the officially controlled toxic chemicals: Nonylphenol, Octabromodiphenyl ether, Pentabromodiphenyl ether, Tetrabrombisphenol A, Chromated Copper Arsenate and Di-n-octyl phthalate.2.The goals are to completely review the 252 officially-controlled toxic chemicals and convene a toxic consulting meeting to discuss and examine the purpose and function of toxic chemicals such as Asbestos, Tributyltin oxide, Mercury, Chromium(VI), and Arsenic trioxide.3. The goals are to complete the survey of carbon tetrachloride, which is presently utilized by 123 companies, and to compile a technical manual regarding the reduction of carbon tetrachloride and distribute to the companies. On top of that, scholars and experts were invited to such 12 schools as NTU for on-site consultation. The rest of the companies were consulted through written data and telephone interviews. It is estimated the use of carbon tetrachloride was reduced by 33%. 4. This plan aims to come up with a suitable watch list of 33 key chemical substances by referring to the controlled chemicals listed in: UNEP, POPs, PTS, List of Chemical for Priority Action of Oslo and Paris convention, PBT of US EPA. 5. It is to rent a database for chemical industry for real time query of toxicological information and to accomplish translating, editing and building up Chinese toxicology data of the 17 toxic chemicals such as nonylphenol. 6. Sub Plan 6: The purpose if to invite local experts, scholars, consultants of this project to compose an internal quality examination committee.
